People’s Committee chairman in Mekong Delta punished for fraudulence

The People’s Council of Tan Ly Tay Commune in Mekong Delta Province of Tien Giang’s Chau Thanh District on Monday called a meeting on the dismissal decision to the People’s Committee chairman Ngo Thanh Liem.

Before that, District Commissioner of Chau Thanh District also reprimanded Liem for his fraudulence and eliminated him from the list of candidates for the delegate of People’s Council.

Early in 2011, Liem made corrupt use of his position to illegally appropriate the preferential treatment to the poor families from the government. He hid all the poor records in the commune and issued them to his own family. When the matter was brought to light, he was forced to return all the poor records.

In the same event this Monday, Trinh Van Ba, the chief of commune’s police station was alternatively elected to the position.
